Our city’s finest chefs partner with farmers, youth and healthy movers and shakers for an extraordinary outdoor culinary festival. Try exquisite delicacies using locally grown seasonal delights on the plaza alongside the farmers market outside Brooklyn’s Borough Hall and on Johnson Street. Top chefs and artisans will offer sumptuous fare – all to empower our neediest children to access all they need to get healthy. Our talented youth will share fresh beverages. Smoothies, lime/lemonade with fresh mint, apple cider, anyone? Venus Adore and Krik Krak Storytelling are among our entertainers. Sample top cuisine without stressing over a reservation and enjoy our deliciously fun fiesta – while supporting a worthy cause!

All proceeds benefit Seeds in the Middle, a 501c charity named by fourth graders, empowering students and schools no matter where they are to access all they need to get healthy. Seeds in the Middle inspires social change through sustainable health with a multi-faceted, holistic strategy to fight obesity and scale disparities. We enable parents, educators, students, and their community to reach for all the opportunities and beauty New York City has to offer, beginning with taking control of their health, enhancing arts education, and greening their environment.

Seeds in the Middle pilots Hip2B Healthy schools, starting in central Brooklyn, opening the Crown Heights Farmers Market and the first Soccer for Harmony tournaments – engaging players, young and old, from all backgrounds to build community through sports!
